        Subject: Accessible World Presents Let's Read Historical Novels May 5th

Newswire

This is a reminder that the Let's Read Historical Novels discussion 
group is scheduled to talk about "Waterloo" by Bernard Cornwell on May 
5th - see time below. This novel is both an accurate account of the 
famous battle between the allied forces under the Duke of Wellington and 
the Imperial armies of Napoleon Bonaparte, and just a plain great read. 
The novel is available through NLS, BookShare and audio cassette. If you 
haven't yet discovered Richard Sharpe, the book's hero, you are in for a 
treat and a new obsession!

Even if you have not read the book, come along for a great discussion!
